welcome to the site

Is it climate control, or heater dials?

It could be a loose vac pipe behind the dash :y

Listen for a hiss on all directional setttings...

With ignition off, hold the OFF and AUTO buttons

Turn ignition on, start the car - hold OFF and AUTO for about 5 seconds - this will reset the climate

Out of interest. When you turn the ignition off, do you see "--" come up on both the temperature displays?

Have done the button switch off but no improvement. Yes, the -- does show when we switch off.

Your climate control is showing a stored error (probably the failed servos or something).

Where in the UK are you, you would need a diagnostic that reads ECC...

Thought might be so! We're near Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.

Has the climate panel been removed recently?

Nothing has been done since we owned the car. It wasn't working properly when we got it. We don't know the history. :(

I would start by popping the climate panel out and ensuring both connectors are fully inserted.

There is a guide in the miantenance section.
